For Sale: 1999 Fender Japan JM66-RC Jazzmaster ’62 Reissue – Burgundy Mist Metallic w/ Matching Headstock | CIJ | Limited Run | Gig Bag

Up for sale is a 1999 Fender Japan JM66-RC Jazzmaster ’62 Reissue in the rare and stunning Burgundy Mist Metallic (BMT) finish with a matching headstock, complete with a non-original gig bag. Crafted in Japan (CIJ), this limited “RC” (Rare Color) model is part of a short-run, Japan-exclusive series — making it highly collectible among Fender enthusiasts.

The “RC” models were never part of Fender’s main catalog and were produced in extremely limited numbers — roughly 120 Jazzmasters and 120 Jaguars in each finish (Burgundy Mist Metallic and Shoreline Gold Metallic). The BMT finish shifts from pink to copper hues under different lighting, giving it a truly unique appearance that’s both vintage and elegant.
